> I've been pleasantly surprised with the online versions of Word and Excel in the past year or so. I don't do anything fancy with them, but it actually feels like a nicer experience than firing up the desktop versions - I do try to keep all my docs in OneDrive, which helps.

That may be because you only use a subset of Word features ? Have you tried the classic Wordpad ?

Wordpad is kind of in that no-man's-land between NotePad++ and doing heavy-lifting with Word.

Honestly, it it easier for me to slam together an HTML document than it is to fiddle with a WYSIWYG word processor. It's got a higher chance of actually looking like what I want it to, as well.
